VALLEYS | Finding Hope in Life’s Hardest Moments // Beyond Forgiveness Mar 03, 2024

Show notes

Joseph has been changed by life and changed by God, and his brothers are standing right in front of him and they even don’t recognize him. Down in the valley, we can’t see the complexity of life. Only when we view life from the peak can we actually see what it means when Joseph said to his brothers, "What you meant for evil, God means for good.” It is only when you get off God's throne, and Gain God’s Perspective will we ever be able to come close to moving beyond forgiveness.

VALLEYS | Finding Hope in Life’s Hardest Moments // Trusted With Much Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

We have been following the story of how God humbled Joseph, then God exalted him, and now all of the Egyptian empire is bowing before him. Joseph was faithful with little, now he’s been trusted with much. God frequently uses seemingly unimportant, uncomfortable and unexpected events and people as catalysts for significant transitions in life. You couldn’t see it at the time, but you’re not the same person today as you once were. God was with you and he’s producing something in you that is going to provide hope and life to those around you.

VALLEYS | Finding Hope in Life’s Hardest Moments // Faithful in Little Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

God wants to teach us through the life of Joseph, how to respond when we’re walking through the valleys of life. Valleys of life expose what was there all along and if we focus only on the end of a hardship then we may miss what God is doing through those trying times. If you’re just waiting for the current season to be over, you can’t be faithful NOW because you’re only thinking about THEN! God is preparing you and orchestrating the details of your life that will eventually lead you to His promise over your life.

Valleys | Finding Hope in Life’s Hardest Moments // Three Temptations Feb 11, 2024

Show notes

As humans, we all face the temptations of power, pleasure, and pain. In the story of Joseph’s life, we see all three of these temptations and the character building that God grows in him throughout his life’s complicated circumstances. If you’re struggling with temptation today, don’t give in or fall into despair. God is with you in your situation, and just like he did with Joseph, He will give you a way to succeed.

Valleys | Finding Hope in Life’s Hardest Moments // Pits Feb 04, 2024

Show notes

When we're experiencing unfortunate circumstances or heartache, we want God to just show up and make it all better, but often times, God will use the lowest moments of our lives to bring about the greatest good. In Joseph's story, God could have just rescued him from the pit his brothers threw him in, but instead, we see that God used the pit to save Joseph from his arrogance and to deliver him from the pride that was destroying his life. All throughout the story of Joseph, we see a God that continually takes what the enemy meant for evil and turns it around for good.

Valleys | Finding Hope in Life’s Hardest Moments // Roots – Part 1 Jan 28, 2024

Show notes

This morning, Pastor Rob kicked off the Valleys series, where over the next 8 weeks we will walk through the story of the life of Joseph. The purpose of stories like Joseph’s are not to show us how we need to get our act together, try harder, or be better. Rather, the purpose of a story like Joseph’s is to show us that at every point, even in the darkest moments, in the valleys of life where God is seemingly absent and we’re convinced that there is absolutely no hope of redemption, God’s grace breaks in and He rescues us from the nightmares of our own making.

Israel Update | January 2024 Jan 21, 2024

Show notes

This morning, Pastor Rob shared stories from his recent trip to Israel, as well as the importance of us paying attention to what’s happening in Israel today and standing with God’s chosen people–the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.

Rooted in 2024 Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

This is the time of the year when we all make plans to transform our lives, like, losing weight, getting more organized, and being more productive, which are all good things! But above all things, in 2024, we hope you decide to root your life in the ways of Jesus more deeply. He is inviting us to walk with Him, learn from Him, and be His students. This morning, Pastor Jimmy gave us some practical disciplines to engage in this year so that we can be more deeply rooted in Christ.

JOY // Sharing the Joy Dec 31, 2023

Show notes

We're instructed in Scripture to encourage one another, but God isn't just telling us to compliment someone's outfit. Biblical encouragement is about seeing and calling out the good in others, building into them God’s perspective of them, pointing out how He has uniquely wired them or gifted them, or how you see God changing them, growing them, or using them to impact other people’s lives. As we head into the new year, let's resolve to be more intentional in encouraging others and to not pass up opportunities to do so.

JOY // Good News of Great Joy Dec 24, 2023

Show notes

The Christmas story is good news of great joy for all people because the creator of heaven and earth left His throne, came down as a baby, and set aside all of His rights and privileges in order to save us from a world broken by sin, selfishness, and shame because of His great love for us. Light entered into the darkness, joy entered into our sorrow, grace entered into our shame, and Christ has extended an invitation to all of humanity to enter into an eternal joy that will never fade away. That's good news of great joy!
